PREFACE. 

This  compilation  of  the  ordinances  was  ordered  •»>  the  coun- 
cil in  ili*1  spring  of  1904.  Since  the  last  preceding  compilation 
of  ls!>s  the  city  and  county  of  Denver  had  been  created  consoli- 
dating eight  municipal  organizations.  The  work  of  compilation 
lias  been  exceedingly  onerous,  there  having  been  seventeen  muni- 
cipal organizations  included  in  what  is  now  Denver,  and  there 
having  been  about  2,000  ordinances  passed  by  Denver  and  Un- 
consolidated towns  since  the  last  compilation. 

After  this  compilation  had  been  completed  it  was  deemed 
wise  to  codify  the  ordinances  of  a  general  nature  and  arrange 
them  alph  -etically  under  the  name  of  the  principal  subject 
treated  and  to  m>ake  such  changes  as  were  demanded  by  The  crea 
tion  and  the  adoptio  of  the  carter  and  such  further  changes  as 
the  experience  of  the  various  heads  of  departments  deemed  neces- 
sary or  wise  in  the  conduct  of  their  respective  departments. 

All  ordinances  granting  franchises  and  special  privileges 
will  he  published  in  a  separate  volume. 

It  is  believed  that  this  arrangement,  together  with  the  run- 
ning headings  at  the  tops  of  pages,  will  greatly  facilitate  the  use 
of  the  book  both  by  lawyers  and  the  administrative  officers  of  the 
y  and  county. 

Errors  and  omissions  will  undoubtedly  he  found,  but  we 
st  they  will  be  few  and  of  comparatively  minor   importance. 

If  this  work  proves  reasonably  satisfactory  to  those  who  are 
called  upon   to  use  it  most,  we  shall  feel  amply  repaid   for  our 

labors.

HISTORICAL  SKETCH.  XV 


HISTORICAL  SKETCH  OF  THE  CITY  AND 
COUNTY  OF  DENVER. 

The  first  white  man  within  the  limits  of  the  presenl  Btate 
of  Colorado  was  probably  Vasquez  de  Coronado,  who  is  sup 
posed  1<>  have  crossed  the  south  easl  corner  of  the  state  in  L541, 
in  his  search  for  the  fabulous  citj  of  Quivira. 

Jn  L682  the  whole  country  west  of  the  Mississippi  was 
claimed  by  La  Salle  for  France  and  named  Louisiana. 

In  1739.  a  party  of  Frenchmen  passed  over  the  presenl  site 
of  Denver.  In  1740.  an  unsuccessful  attempl  was  made  i».\  the 
Spanish  to  establish  permanent  settlements  on  the  Arkansas 
river. 

April  30,  L803,  Louisiana  was  sold  by   France  to  the  United 

Slates. 

November  15,  1806,  Pike's  Teak  was  discovered  h\  an  explor- 
ing party  under  command  of  Lien  tenant  Zebulon  Pike. 

March  26,  L804,  that  portion  of  the  Louisiana  purchase  north 
of  the  state  of  Louisiana  was  organized  as  the  "hist  rid  of  Louis 
iana"  under  the  jurisdiction  of  Indiana  territory. 

March  3,  1805,  the  "District  of  Louisiana"  was  organized  as 
the  "Territory  of  Louisiana.*'  and  on  June  4.  1812,  the  name  was 
changed  to  the  "Territory  of  Missouri." 

In  1821,  .Missouri  was  admitted  as  a  state  leaving  that  part 
of  the  Louisiana  Purchase  westward  unorganized,  until  ls:U 
when  Congress  enacted  that  all  the  territory  wesl  of  the  Missis- 
sippi river  except  Louisiana.  Missouri  and  Arkansas  should  be 
deemed  Indian  country  and  attached  partly  to  Arkansas  and 
partly  to  .Missouri  for  administrative  purposes  and  the  enforce 
meiii  <>}'  criminal  law. 

In  1854  by  the  passage  of  the  Kansas-Nebraska  bill  the  Ter- 
ritory of  Kansas  was  organized. 

Arapahoe  county  was  nominally  organized  by  the  territory 
of  Kansas  in  L855,  the  lirst  election  being  held  in  L856  for  a 
representative   t<»   the   Kansas   legislature.     There   was   bui    one 

election  precinct  and  hut   thirteen   i  L3)   votes  were  cast. 

The  first  collection  of  white-men's  dwellings  in  all  this  "Colo- 
rado region"  was  at  "Montana  City,"  which  was  established  in 
the  summer  of  L858  in  that   part   of  the  city   bounded  l»\    Wes1

tun  abandoned  upon  the  establishment  of  Auraria  and  Denver, 
in  the  fall  «»t'  the  same  year. 

The  tirsi  white-man's  house  in  what  is  now  the  city  and 
county  of  Denver  was  probably  at  Montana  City,  but  the  first 
permanent  residence  in  the  settlemenl  at  the  junction  of  Cherry 
creek  and  the  Platte  river,  from  which  Denver  really  grew,  was 
the  double  cabin  erected  in  1858,  by  a  trapper  named  John  S. 
Sin i ill  ;iik1  the  Russell  boys,  who  spent  the  winter  in  it. 

The  first  attempt  at  the  establishment  of  a  town  site  was  on 
September  24,  L858,  when  the  town  of  St.  Charles  in  "Arapahoho 
county,  Kansas  territory."  was  established  on  the  east  bank  of 
Cherry  creek,  now  know  as  East  Denver.  On  November  1st  of 
the  same  year.  Anraria  City  was  founded  on  the  west  bank  of 
Cherry  creek  with  ostensibly  100  incorporators.  November  17, 
St.  diaries  having  been  abandoned,  the  site  was  taken  possession 
of  by  General  William  Larimer  and  his  party  of  41,  who  or- 
ganized the  Denver  Town  Company  and  changed  the  name  to 
Denver  after  General  dames  W.  Denver,  then  Governor  of  Kan- 
sas territory. 

A  town  named  "Highland"  was  also  established  on  the  west 
hank  of  the  Platte  and  the  three  "cities"  were  consolidated  as 
the  "City  of  Denver,  Anraria  and  Highland"  on  December  19, 
L859,  by  an  act  of  the  "Territory  of  Jefferson,"  acquiesced  in  by 
the  people  of  all  three  "cities,"  a  community  of  interest  having 
been  doubtless  established  by  the  building  of  a  bridge  across 
Cherrj  creek  at  Larimer  street,  the  first  "public  improvement" 
in  Denver. 

The  first  city  election  was  held  December  19,  1859,  John 
C.  Moore  being  elected  mayor.  A  characterically  original  at- 
tempt w;iv  made  the  same  year  to  organize  the  "Territory  of 
Jefferson"  and  two  sessions  of  its  legislature  were  actually  held, 
but  "ii  February  28,  L861,  the  territory  of  Colorado  was  organized 
with  William  Gilpin  as  its  first  governor,  the  officers  of  the  "Ter- 
ritory of  Jefferson"  gracefully  surrendering  to  the  inevitable. 

All  governmental  acts  up  to  this  time  were  technically  il- 
legal  and  tin-  tirsi  charter  of  the  city  of  Denver  was  granted 
li\  the  territorial  legislature  November  7.  1861,  C.  A.  Cook,  being 
elected  mayor. 

The  charter  was  amended  from  time  to  time,  particularly 
in  ls^."..  providing  for  a  board  of  supervisors  elected  at  large, 
in  ivx!i.  providing  r<»r  a  board  of  public  works  of  three  members, 
to  be  appointed  by  the  governor,  in  1891,  providing  for  a  fire  and 
police  board  of  three  members,  to  be  appointed  by  the  governor,

calculated  stresses  due  to  their  "dead  loads"  plus  the  applied 
"live  load.'*  The  allowable  factors  or  units  of  safety  or  the  di- 
mensions of  each  piece  or  combination  of  materials  required  in 
a  building  or  structure,  if  not  given  iu  this  chapter,  shall  be 
ascertained  by  computation  according  to  the  rules  prescribed  by 
the  standard  modern  authorities  on  strength  of  materials,  ap- 
plied mechanics  and  engineering  practice;  Provided,  That  the  in- 
spector may  require  the  owner  or  architect  to  submit  a  certified

proportioned  of  sufficient  strength  to  sustain  the  load  equal  to 
the  end  reaction  of  the  member  supported  when  supporting  its 
maximum  load.  In  all  cases  suitable  provision  shall  be  made  to 
take  up  and  properly  distribute  the  stresses  due  to  eccentric  load- 
ing and  also  to  prevent  danger  from  horizontal  or  vertical  de- 
flection or  the  buckling  or  shear  of  the  members.  The  eccentric 
load  in  ;i  column,  if  provided  for  and  properly  taken  up,  may  be 
regarded  as  uniformly  distributed  over  its  base. 

Sec.  389.  Tests  of  Frames.  When  a  test  of  any  frame  struc- 
ture is  required  to  ascertain  its  physical  strength  or  its  resist 
ance  to  tire,  frost  or  water,  such  tests  shall  be  made  with  full 
finished  sizes  and  similar  exposure  as  their  proposed  use  in  a 
building  requires,  and  when  the  conditions  for  such  tests  are  not 
established  in  this  ordinance,  the  methods  of  the  authorities  as 
prescribed  in  i  he  previous  sections  shall  be  followed.

sure exeeed  seventy-five  (75)  per  cent,  of  the  moment  of  stability 
id'  the  structure. 

In  all  structures  exposed  to  wind,  if  the  resisting  moments 
of  the  "dead  load"  and  connections  are  not  sufficient  to  resist 
the  moment  of  distortion  due  to  wind  pressure  taken  in  any 
direction  on  any  part  of  the  structure,  additional  bracing  shall 
lie  introduced  sufficient  to  make  up  the  difference  in  the  mo- 
ments. 

Sec.  401.  Wind  Pressure — Precautions  Against.  The  precau- 
tion against  the  effect  of  wind  pressure  may  take  the  form  of 
any  one  or  more  or  all  of  the  following  factors  of  resistance 
in  the  wind  pressure: 

First — By  cross  walls  or  buttresses. 

Second — Dead  weight  of  structure,  especially  in  its  lower 
parts. 

Third — Diagonal  braces. 

Fourth — Rigidity  of  connections  between  vertical  and  hori- 
zontal members  by  gussets,  knees  or  portals. 

Fifth — By  constructing  iron  orsteel  pillars  in  such  manner 
as  to  pass  through  two  (2)  stories  with  joints  breaking  in  alter- 
nate stories. 

All  buildings  lacking  in  initial  stability,  and  for  such  other 
structures  subjected  to  the  lifting  force  of  the  wind,  shall  be 
anchored  to  their  foundations,  which  shall  be  of  sufficient  weight 
in  insure  the  stabilitv  of  ihe  structure.

horizontal  dimension  in  height.  In  case  of  buildings  that  are 
more  than  one  and  one-half  times  their  least  horizontal  dimen- 
sion in  height,  allowance  shall  be  made  for  wind  pressure,  which 
shall  not  be  figured  at  less  than  thirty  (30)  pounds  per  foot  of  ex- 
posed sm  lace.  When  the  dead  weight  of  the  structure  is  not 
sufficient  to  insure  stability  against  wind  pressure,  the  following 
precautions  shall  be  taken  to  insure  stability: 

1st.  Wrought  iron  or  steed  columns  shall  pass  through  two 
stories  with  the  joints  broken  in  alternate  stories.

cupant or  agent  of  the  same,  to  affix  and  display  conspicuously 
on  each  floor  of  such  buildings,  a  placard  showing  the  load  per 
square  foot  of  floor  surface  which  may  be  with  safety  applied  to 
that  particular  door,  or  the  strength  of  the  different  parts  of  the 
same  floor,  where  such  strength  varies.  It  shall  be  unlawful  to 
load  any  such  floor,  or  any  part  thereof,  to  a  greater  extent  than 
the  load  indicated  on  such  placards.  It  shall  be  the  duty  of  the 
occupant  of  the  building  to  maintain  such  placards  during  their 
occupation  of  the  premises,  and  the  owners  shall  see  such 
placards  properly  affixed  with  each  change  of  occupants.  These 
placards  shall  be  verified  and  approved  by  the  building  inspector 
before  they  are  affixed  upon  the  several  floors,  and  they  shall  be 
recalculated,  verified  and  approved  every  five  (5)  years.  The 
building  inspector  may  require  the  owner,  agent  or  occupant  of

SYLLABUS  OF  SUPREME  COURT  DECISIONS 


The  People  ex  rel.  Elder,  as  Treasurer  of  The  City  and  Coun- 
ty of  Denver,  v.  Sours. 

Constitutional  Amendment — Presumptions. 

1.  AN'lici-t-  an  amendment  to  the  constitution  is  attacked 
after  its  ratification  by  the  people,  every  reasonable  presump- 
tion, both  of  law  and  fact,  is  to  be  indulged  in  favor  of  its  val- 
idity. 

Constitutional  Amendments — Legislative  Journals. 

1'.  Where  a  proposed  amendment  to  the  constitution  was 
introduced  in  the  senate  and  before  final  passage  was  amended 
by  striking  out  certain  words  and  inserting  the  word  "and,"  but 
the  amendment  did  not  materially  change  the  meaning,  and  as 
it  passed  the  senate  was  transmitted  to  the  house,  and  the  house 
journal  shows  that  no  amendment  was  made  or  offered  in  the 
house  and  that  it  was  not  returned  to  the  senate  after  its  passage 
in  the  house,  but  when  it  was  entered  in  full  upon  the  house 
journal,  by  mistake  it  was  entered  as  it  was  originally  introduced 
in  the  senate,  and  the  house  journal  itself  shows  that  the  differ- 
ence between  the  entries  of  the  two  houses  was  due  to  a  clerical 
error,  and  it  was  enrolled  and  signed  by-  the  presiding  officers 
of  both  houses  and  published  in  I  lie  session  laws  as  it  was  passed, 
the  constitutional  provision  requiring  proposed  amendments  to 
the  constitution  to  be  entered  in  full  upon  the  journal  of  each 
house1  was  satisfied,  and  it  is  not  invalid  because  of  said  differ- 
ence in  the  journal  entries  of  the  two  houses. 

Constitutional  Amendments — Consolidation  of  City  and  County. 

3.  A  constitutional  amendment  consolidating  a  city  and 
county  government  into  one  and  providing  that  tin1  people  of  the 
city  and  county  shall  adopt  a  charter  which  shall  provide  for  the 
election  or  appointment  of  all  officers  of  the  city  and  county  and 
shall  designate  the  officers  who  shall  perform  the  acts  and  duties 
required  by  the  constitution  and  general  laws  to  he  done  by  conn-

iv  officers,  and  provides  that  the  citizens  of  the  city  and  county 
shall  have  exclusive  power  to  adopt  or  to  amend  their  charter 
or  to  adopt  any  measure  as  provided  in  the  amendment,  does  not 
exempt  a  portion  of  the  state  from  the  provisions  of  the  con- 
stitution and  general  laws  of  the  state,  and  is  not  ohnoxious  to 
the  provision  of  the  enabling  act  which  requires  the  constitu- 
tion to  be  republican  in  form  and  not  repugnant  to  the  constitu- 
tion of  the  United  States. 

Same — Future  Contingencies — Adoption  of  Charter. 

4.  A  constitutional  amendment  consolidating  a  city  and 
county  government  into  one  and  which  authorizes  the  people  of 
the  city  and  county  created  to  make  a  charter  for  their  govern- 
ment is  not  invalid  on  the  ground  that  it  is  dependent  on  future 
contingencies. 

Constitutional  Amendments. 

5.  Under  the  provisions  of  the  constitution  authorizing 
iiincndments  the  article  providing  for  such  amendments  may  be 
amended. 

Constitutional  Amendments — Reasonable  Doubt. 

6.  Unless  the  court  is  satisfied  beyond  a  reasonable  doubt 
that  the  constitution  has  been  violated  in  the  submission  of  a  con- 
stitutional amendment,  the  amendment  must  be  upheld. 

Constitutional  Amendments — New  Articles. 

7.  An  amendment  to  the  constitution  may  be  proposed  by 
the  legislature  and  adopted,  by  the  addition  to  the  constitution 
of  a  new  and  separate  article. 

Constitutional  Amendments — Limitation  of  Amendments  to  Six  Ar- 
ticles. 

s.  The  provision  of  section  -,  article  19,  of  the  constitution 
thai  amendments  to  not  more  than  six  articles  of  the  constitu- 
tion shall  he  proposed  at  the  same  session  of  the  legislature,  ap- 
plies to  express  amendments  and  not  to  implied  or  incidental 
amendments  or  modifications  of  other  articles  of  the  constitution 
than  the  one  expressly  amended. 

Constitutional  Amendments — Several  Subjects. 

9.  A  constitutional  amendment  may  embrace  more  than  one 
subject. 

Same — Separate  Submission. 

10.  If  a  constitutional  amendment  embraces  several  sub- 
jects all  of  which  are  germane  to  the  general  subject  or  purpose

The  People  ex  eel.  The  Attorney  General  v.  Johnson. 

Constitutional     Limitation — Amendment — Exemption     of     Territory 
from  Provisions  of  Constitution — Municipal  Matters. 

1.  The  people  cannot  by  amendment  to  the  constitution 
free  any  portion  of  the  state  from  the  operation  of  any  part  of 
the  constitution,  nor  vest  in  the  citizens  of  any  portion  of  the 
state  power  to  legislate  upon  matters  other  than  those  purely 
local  and  municipal.

2.  Under  article  XX  of  the  constitution  the  charter  con- 
vention of  the  city  and  county  of  Denver  in  its  authority  to 
legislate  is  limited  to  matters  purely  local  and  municipal  in 
their  character.  It  has  no  authority  to  legislate  upon  any  sub- 
ject whatever,  in  contravention  of  any  provision  of  the  constitu- 
tion, relative  to  governmental  or  state  matters,  or  to  county  or 
state  offices  and  officers. 

Same — County  Judges. 

3.  The  provisions  of  the  charter  of  the  city  and  county  of 
Denver,  adopted  March  29,  1904,  increasing  the  number  of  judges 
of  the  county  court  to  two  and  changing  the  time  of  election  of 
such  judges,  are  invalid  and  inoperative,  and  one  elected  to  fill

to  hold  and  exercise  the  office  of  county  judge  of  the  city  and 
county  of  Denver.
